ABSTRACT

NAME OF PROJECT : E-Shopping

Project Supervisor : Shuchi Jani

Online shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the Internet. It is a form of electronic commerce. An online shop, e-shop, e-store, internet shop, web shop, web store, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. When a business buys from another business it is called Business-to-Business (B2B) online shopping.

In recent years, online shopping has become popular. In order to shop online, one must be able to have access to a computer as well as a credit card. Shopping has evolved with the growth of technology. The Impact of Internet User Shopping Patterns and Demographics on Consumer Mobile Buying Behaviour. Journal of Electronic Commerce Research, An influential factor in consumer attitude towards non-store shopping is exposure to technology, since it has been demonstrated that increased exposure to technology increases the probability of developing favourable attitudes towards new shopping channels.

Introduction

E-commerce is fast gaining ground as an accepted and used business paradigm. More and more business houses are implementing web sites providing functionality for performing commercial transactions over the web. It is reasonable to say that the process of shopping on the web is becoming commonplace. The objective of this project is to develop a general purpose e-commerce store where any product (such as books, CDs, computers, mobile phones, electronic items, and home appliances) can be bought from the comfort of home through the Internet. However, for implementation purposes, this paper will deal with an online book store. An online store is a virtual store on the Internet where customers can browse the catalogue and select products of interest. The selected items may be collected in a shopping cart. At checkout time, the items in the shopping cart will be presented as an order. At that time, more information will be needed to complete the transaction. Usually, the customer will be asked to fill or select a billing address, a shipping address, a shipping option, and payment information such as credit card number. An e- mail notification is sent to the customer as soon as the order is placed. In this project, we have implemented an on line shopping cart and order management system which provides trading community options to buy and sell products online through online shopping. Only registered users will be allowed to participate in this process. The registered sellers can add his item with full details which consists of item description and seller description. Any user (buyer) can enter in to the system and he can browse and search the products. User can add his item in to the cart and can make the checkout. Before entering shipping information and payment details he must register him self .After the dealing system will send a message to the corresponding seller. Administrator is the third user of this item and he can add categories, subcategories, products, disable user etc. In this project, we have implemented auction system. Auctions have been around for centuries. People with goods wanted an efficient way to sell those goods to people who wanted those goods. For many people, the memory of an auction involves a fast-tongued auctioneer belting out numbers to a loosely organized crowd. Historically, the highest level of technology used for an auction involved plugging a microphone into a wall.

Then someone realized that the Internet could be more than a paperless catalogue. The Internet could be used to expand the universe of potential buyers for any one item. It could be used by buyers to compare goods more efficiently and accurately. Anyone could enjoy an auction from a comfortable seat unencumbered by time or location. Online shoppers commonly use credit card to make payments. So, we have implemented credit card system for online shopping. In this project user can give their feedback or queries to the admin. As well as admin can reply to customer.

PROBLEM DOMAIN

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption has generally solved the problem of credit card numbers being intercepted in transit between the consumer and the merchant. Identity theft is still a concern for consumers when hackers break into a merchants web site and steal names, addresses and credit card numbers.

Many websites keep track of consumers shopping habits in order to suggest items and other websites to view. Brick-and-mortar stores also collect consumer information. Some ask for address and phone number at checkout, though consumers may refuse to provide it. Many larger stores use the address information encoded on consumers credit cards (often without their knowledge) to add them to a catalogue mailing list. This information is obviously not accessible to the merchant when paying in cash.

Phishing is another danger, where consumers are fooled into thinking they are dealing with a reputable retailer, when they have actually been manipulated into feeding private information to a system operated by a malicious party.

Given the lack of ability to inspect merchandise before purchase, consumers are at higher risk of fraud on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. Merchants also risk fraudulent purchases using stolen credit cards or fraudulent repudiation of the online purchase. With a warehouse instead of a retail storefront, merchants face less risk from physical theft.

SOLUTION DOMAIN

Computer security has become a major concern for merchants and e-commerce service providers, who deploy countermeasures such as firewalls and anti-virus software to protect their networks. So, user must use this all programs which is useful for security purpose.

Dont visit spam website or additional advertise page, which protect and give secure browsing. Sticking with known stores, or attempting to find independent consumer reviews of their experiences; also ensuring that there is comprehensive contact information on the website before using the service, and noting if the retailer has enrolled in industry oversight programs such as trust mark or trust seal.

Ensuring that the vendor address is protected with SSL (see above) when entering credit card information. If it does the address on the credit card information entry screen will start with HTTPS.
